You need to contact them to work out which type of info you need, I'm not sure they have subscription ****, I talked to a Billboard worker and he said it was hard to get I was not a member of the music industry, a media outlet or anything related to a company or to people that work for. You can contact them here:

& ^^ Album sales aren't released either, they are leaked by industry insiders, just like digital songs or any chart with actual numbers.... The only actual numbers you can't get from Billbord is the box score ones....
and I do agree this should be free to the public, just like we know how much money a movie grossed during all it's life in the theaters...
Nielsen is paid to find this numbers, I think Nielsen is afraid of losing money, what might happen if they make the numbers public-available. But it's like the Movie studios, that pay the companies that get together the grossing info, The music companies would still pay Nielsen to keep their system running...
